BobTalk

This is a new song off a forthcoming record album. I hope it’s on the album anyway.
It’s called Dead Man, Dead Man When Will You Arise.
I wrote quite a few new songs I thought I’d play them because I don’t know how much longer I’ll be playing new songs.
People wanna hear the old songs. I was thinking of cutting out all the new songs.
So I can play, I’m gonna play just older stuff.
This time here in London I’m gonna play all the new songs so in case they never get heard again.
Dead Man, Dead Man When Will You Arise.

We’re gonna play a real old song here. A song I used to sing before I used to write any songs.
I used to sing this in the Troubadour. I don’t know if that club is still called The Troubadour?
Well it’s the same way we used to sing it then, hasn’t changed a bit. (before Mary From The Wild Moor)

Thank you. Thank you for coming tonight.
I wanna introduce the lady on the lady on the left one more time, Miss Carolyn Dennis.
Standing next to her is Madelyn Quebec, Regina McCreary, Clydie King.
On the keyboards tonight, Willie Smith.
Playing the guitars tonight, on my right, Fred Tackett, playing the other guitar is Steve Ripley.
On the bass guitar tonight, from Cincinnati Ohio, the walls of Jericho, Tim Drummond.
On the drums, a legend in his own time for real, Jim Keltner.
All right now, I hope we can come back here next year.
I know we’ll be here tomorrow night and the night after that.
We can’t come over here enough. Thank you. (at the end of In The Garden)

Thank you. That was a song that’s just been released. This is an old song that I used to sing a long time ago.
I think it’s an old folk ballad of some kind. Scottish ballad or English ballad. One of those ballads.
See if I can do it like I used to do it.

This show came to me with no information. I did actually spend some time before this project started to try and find the lineage/Gen of all these shows, but nobody came forward with any answers, so had to go with what I had.

This show came to me with no information on its Gen….

Linage: CDR (Gen??) > Amadeus II > WAV > xACT > FLAC

When this project started I did appeal for low gen copies of all
of these shows, but only one with lineage came forward.

So here is the first show of the Dortmund Westfalenhalle shows in
Germany.

The volume on this one is all over the place, and sounded very top end
and harsh. I EQualised the sound to ease this, and then added
{tisuk} stereo to give it that big live concert sound. I then EQualised the sound agin to ease down a noise which I can only describe as eggs frying.

Thats it, I hope that you enjoy the show.

This show came to me with no information on its Gen….

Linage: CDR (Gen??) > Amadeus II > WAV > xACT > FLAC

The fourth show of the Dortmund Westfalenhalle shows in
Germany.

Track splits on both disks sorted out.

Then an MDA electronic stereo effect was added, this does not mean that
the show will sound that split between the two channels, but it can add a fuller sound if used in small amounts.

Thats it, I hope that you enjoy the show.

The following comments are from Bobsboots:

This show has been in the hands of a few tape traders since soon after the performance, but this is the first commercial release of the entire, although slightly edited Dylan portion of the concert. Missing are the gospel songs that The Queens Of Rhythm open the show with, and there are a couple of in between song splices. The show was professionally recorded by Dylan’s touring sound crew, but that tape has never surfaced. There is a slight cover discrepancy as to the placement of Dead Man on the back cover, as the cover information was taken from volume four of Olof’s files. The correct play order appears above.
